SEAN DAVIS would be an excellent signing for Everton, even if it means all their transfer budget going on one player.

SEAN DAVIS would be an excellent signing for Everton, even if it means all their transfer budget going on one player.

I have seen Davis (pictured) on a number of occasions for Fulham and he has quality. His best years are still to come, too.

Most fans were expecting the club to go for a wide player this summer, whereas Davis operates in the middle of the park.

It could be said that Everton are at risk of becoming overloaded with central midfielders unless they can move one or two of their existing players on.

But when the opportunity comes to improve your squad, you have to grab it with both hands.

Fulham have rejected Everton's bid for Davis, but the player himself is said to be keen to come to Goodison and that is the most important thing.

Sometimes it can be dangerous to make too many changes in the summer. If you have been successful, a team often only needs topping up with one new face.

In recent years Liverpool have had an influx of players. That's all very well, but where do you play them all?

Numbers are not important, it is quality. Moyes has identified his target and is going after him.

Players hold all aces>

HARRY KEWELL'S transfer to Liverpool demonstrates that the Bosman ruling has an awful lot to answer for.

Leeds had to let Kewell go for #5m or risk losing him for nothing next year.

Just once it would be nice for a club to say to a player in that situation "you're not going anywhere", even if it meant letting them go on a free transfer later. Cash- strapped Leeds were never in a position to do that, though.

There are no doubts about Kewell's talent. Players like him who can go past defenders are invaluable.

I don't see Kewell as a striker, though. The left midfield position is where he should play for Liverpool.

Nice to see Li Tie back>

LI TIE'S loan stay at Everton expired last month, but he is back training with the club.

He wants to keep himself fit in the hope the Blues can agree a deal to keep him here.

I have a lot of time for Li Tie. Perhaps he was somewhat forced on David Moyes as part of a sponsorship deal, but the biggest compliment to the lad is the number of games he played last season.

He has technique and vision, but perhaps was not suited to the hustle of the Premier-ship in his first season.

But his willingness to train for nothing makes a refreshing change.

Cup should cop it first>

FIFA are considering reducing domestic leagues to 16 clubs. Before we do that, we should get rid of the League Cup.

No other major country has two domestic cup competitions. If the authorities are serious about reducing fixture congestion and helping the international coaches, they should do away with the League Cup.
